    steel earth

    Just a thought, if MIs (or 18th ed) stated RCD protection, could we see reduction of cpc CSA in fittings or reduced conductivity of materials?

    Hey people

    22db might be the lowest noise level registered on your meter, it is very quiet. Have you managed to find a place where you can't hear the noise but the meter registers lower than 22db?  Same with the spectrograph. You need to be sure of what you are measuring. I foresee a journey in the near...

    Opinions please.

    Or polarity of whole installation? Perhaps the batteries are dead and need charging up. It should say in the MIs though.

    HELP - poo coming out of rainwater drain

    Agree with sharpend. Once you start digging and banging around, you might find yourself replacing whole sections of pipe.

    Hey people

    If you have a water meter fitted out on the street that is the best place to turn off the water. There should be a key in there.

    Water leak under floor? Turn off mains.

    Hey people

    Have you tried switching off the mains and seeing if it disappears? Then turning on each circuit until it reappears.

    If you only have a square external grill, mark the internal end of the duct with horizontal lines so you can level it from inside.

    Can I install double pole MCBs instead of double pole switches for a water heater?

    As far as I can see it, a DP switch, as opposed to a SP switch, is only required for 1. water heaters having immersed and uninsulated elements (554.3.3) 2. where MIs specify them (134.1.1) or 3. installations other than TN-C-S or TNS (537.1.2) due to the neutral being reliably connected to earth

    Can I install double pole MCBs instead of double pole switches for a water heater?

    What do the Manufacturer's Instructions say? Link possibly? I assume they specify DP isolation.

    Can I install double pole MCBs instead of double pole switches for a water heater?

    554.3.3 although depends on the type of water heater. I can't see why control needs to be done at the reception. Surely at the end of each 'tenancy' the rooms would be cleaned and any switches which were intentionally switched off could be switched back on ready for the next occupants. The...
